East End Press like falling through a cloud
Sometimes
when I wake up
it's dark
where am I?
sometimes I know
and sometimes
I have no idea
so I let the night spirits wrap around me
and they whisper to me
Don't think ....
You will remember ...
I lie very still
and
then
suddenly
like falling through a cloud
I know
I
AM
HERE.
